The latest thing in railroad matters is
project for building new road from Grand
Rapids TO Chicago. Nothing very definite
has been ascertained as yet, further than that
articles of association for such q line have
been filed in the Office of the secretary of
state. Our business men are wide awake to
the advantage il would be to this town to be
on such road and if the scheme shall
materialize, no effort will be spared TO make
Paw Paw point on the line.
Active steps are being taken throughout
the county TO obtain the necessary number
OF signatures to a petition TO the county
clerk for special election under the provis-
ions OF the county local option law. No
difficulty is anticipated in obtaining more
names than are required. Supervisor Killifer
of Bloomingdale, reports that on Saturday
last be obtained more than the quota from
his township and't he obtained the sigma
ture of every man to whom he presented il
with but two exceptions, and even those two
did not refuse to sign, but asked little time
for consideration. The voters of this county
will have an opportunity TO express their
wishes on this great question at an early day

Christian church at this place and his fare
well sermon at Muir: "A large audience
listened to Ed. III. A. Pallister's farewell SER
mon Sunday morning. A very pleasant
feature of Mr.. Pallister's pastorate in Muir
has been thsfriendly relations existing with
other churches. All our ministers are dis
posed to be liberal in their views, and all
minor differences in manner of thinking
have been made subordinate TO the great
central truths of pure gospel. After Elder
Pallister's sermon, Rev. Mr. Ransom adj
dressed some remarks to the congregation,
directing few words of goodbye to our
brother who, with his family, has gone TO
other fields of labor, accompanied by the
most kindly feelings of host of people in
and about Muir Elder Pallister was greet
ed with good attendance last Sunday, his
first Sunday here, both morning and evening,
and created a very favorable impression on
the minds of his audience.
